I've got some exciting news to share today...
I'm a Guest Designer for the Create with Connie & Mary Holiday edition! I'm looking forward to sharing my project with subscribers later this month, and I'll be playing along with the team in sharing some holiday projects with you throughout the month. During this coming week - Preview Week - you can sign up for the Early Bird price of only $24.95, which gets you LOADS of inspiration throughout the Holiday edition, with projects using the wonderful stamps and accessories in the Stampin Up Holiday catalogue.
I'll be using the fabulous Holiday Home set in my project and so today, to kick off Preview Week, I'm sharing a card I made using this set...
I decided to try a shaker card for an extra special Christmas card. I created the house by stamping it on multiple pieces of card - Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Grey and Cajun Craze - then cut out the various pieces with my paper snips and paper pieced it all together. I sponged a touch of Crushed Curry ink on the bottom of the windows and stamped a wreath on the door with Garden Green ink.
The background is Night of Navy card, stamped with the trees from White Christmas with Whisper White ink and embossed with iridescent ice embossing powder. I also stamped some 'snow' with Whisper White ink around the trees. I stamped the trees again with Night of Navy ink on Naturals White card, cut along the snow lines then glued over the top. The frame is die-cut with the largest On Film framelit from Under the Tree dsp. I added some frosted sequins inside the shaker, sealed it up with dimensionals and voila! I added some Cherry Cobbler linen ribbon along with the sentiment and a Cherry Cobbler candy dot to finish.
Here's a close up:
Here's the recipe:
